TY - JOUR A1 - Österle, Werner A1 - Wever, H. A1 - Bunge, H. T1 - Development of microstructure and texture of cold-rolled a iron N2 - Optical and electron metallography have been used to investigate the development of different microstructures in Armco Fe after rolling reductions between 0 and 90%. Simultaneously, the orientation distribution functions have been calculated from pole figures obtained by X-ray diffraction. Different stages of texture development could be assigned to typical microstructures. Strain inhomogeneities, such as microbands and shear bands, caused some broadening of the texture and a slight deviation of one skeleton line from the predicted fibre texture component. The decomposition of orientations near {111} < 121 > , and the strengthening of {211} < 011 > after high rolling reductions, was not due to mechanical twinning but could rather be explained by assuming {211} < 111 > slip. 30 ref.--AA PY - 1983 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1179/030634583790420772 SN - 0306-3453 SN - 0026-0673 VL - 17 SP - 333 EP - 340 PB - Metals Society CY - London AN - OPUS4-2389 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Österle, Werner A1 - Wever, H.

Dieser ist notwendig, um auf Belag und Scheibe eine sogenannte Reibschicht aufzubauen. Da diese Zwischenschicht das Reibungsverhalten des Systems maßgeblich bestimmt, ist es wichtig, sich Klarheit über ihre chemische Zusammensetzung, Mikrostruktur und die daraus resultierenden Eigenschaften zu verschaffen. Als Basismaterial diente ein phenolharzgebundener Belag Jurid 57-62, der mit verschiedenen Parametern (Flächenpressung und Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit) gegen eine Stahlscheibe getestet wurde. Es wurden Dauerbremsungen von jeweils einer Stunde bzw. bis zu einem maximalen Belagverschleiß von 1 mm simuliert, wobei die Entwicklung der Reibzahl und die Oberflächentemperatur der Scheibe registriert wurde. Zur Analyse der Reibschichten auf dem Bremsbelag wurden mehrere Methoden parallel angewandt. So wurden Verschleißpartikel, die aus der Reibschicht stammen, gesammelt bzw. abgekratzt und nach Dispergieren auf Kohlefolien direkt im Transmissionselektronenmikros-kop (TEM) untersucht. Ferner wurden von einigen ausgesuchten Belagproben Mikrotom-schnitte sowie dünne Querschnittsfolien für die TEM-Untersuchung präpariert, um den Verbund Reibschicht-Grundmaterial darstellen zu können. Als Ergänzung wurden ferner oberflächenmorphologische und –analytische Verfahren wie REM/EDX und ESCA eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Reibschicht nanokristallin ist, und dass fast alle anorganischen Bestandteile des Bremsbelags sowie Eisenoxid von der Bremsscheibe in sehr fein verteilter Form vorliegen. Bei Belägen ohne Metallanteil bildet eine Barium-Eisen-Sulfatphase offenbar die Grundstruktur der Reibschicht, während auf eisenhaltigen Belägen Eisenoxid dominierend ist. Die nanokristalline Mikrostruktur entsteht, ähnlich wie beim mechanischen Legieren, durch einen Mahlvorgang von Verschleißpartikeln zwischen den Reibpartnern. Bei Überlastung des Belags tritt Zersetzung der Polymer-Bindephase ein, was zu einem raschen Anstieg der Verschleißrate führt.

The Focused Ion Beam Technique (FIB) was used to reveal tribologically induced surface films and for cross-sectional preparation of superficial layers. Additional information was obtained by TEM/EDS of thin lamellae prepared with the FIB and by surface analytical methods (GDOS, XPS and RS). Microscopic contact areas of the pad showed bright contrast in Scanning Ion Microscopy (SIM). This was attributed to severe plastic deformation finally leading to a nanocrystalline microstructure. Metallic particles of the pad, the so-called primary contact areas, were mostly covered with a smooth oxide layer of less than 1 µm thickness. Above this layer a thin (100 nm) partly amorphous film was often observed. The film was not only restricted to the metal particles, but also spread over adjacent regions, suggesting that secondary plateaus had formed. Similar layers and films, although with slightly different composition and structure, were also observed at the surface of the rotor.

The friction material was a polymer matrix composite (PMC) with approximately 50% metal content (semi-metallic) and the counter part was a cast iron rotor. Though the contact areas were not visible as topographic features, they could be identified with the aid of their increased secondary electron emission during FIB-scanning of the surface after tribological activation. Target preparation of micron-sized cross-sections with the FIB enabled the study of superficial layers at predetermined sites at high magnification. Depending on the constituent of the pad, one, two or three layers were identified. The three layer structure comprised: (i) a 100 nm thick friction film containing nanocrystalline metal oxides and an amorphous phase which was enriched with sulphur, (ii) a nanocrystalline friction layer of compacted wear debris accommodating surface roughness and (iii) a severely deformed layer if the supporting constituent was a metal particle. Though the majority of loose wear particles was iron oxide, the friction film which adhered tightly to the pad surface contained a large amount of copper and sulphur, whereas zinc was transferred to the cast iron rotor.

T1 - Investigation of white etching layers on rails by optical microscopy, electron microscopy, X-ray and synchrotron X-ray diffraction N2 - Patches of white etching layers on rail surfaces were investigated using sophisticated techniques like cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) and synchroton X-ray diffraction. Optical microscopy failed to resolve the microstructure, but in the TEM submicron grains with high dislocation densities and occasional twins, which are characteristic features of high carbon martensite, were observed. The martensitic structure was confirmed by evaluation of synchroton X-ray diffraction line profiles. The latter technique also allowed to determine dislocation densities of the order of 1012 cm-2 and residual compressive stresses of about 200 MPa.

T1 - XTEM investigation of Ge/Pd shallow contact to p-IN0.53Ga0.47As N2 - Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, in combination with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and focused beam microdiffraction, was applied to study the solid-state reactions taking place during contact formation of the system Ge(115 nm)/Pd(50 nm)—In0.53Ga0.47As. In order to get information about the sequence of the different processes, rapid thermal, annealing experiments in the range 225–400 °C were performed. The following features were observed: at 225 °C Pd reacted with the substrate forming the quaternary phase PdxIn0.53Ga0.47As (x ˜ 4), and with the Ge-layer forming mainly PdGe and Pd2Ge. Between PdxIn0.53Ga0.47As and In0.53Ga0.47As, a 5 nm thick amorphous Pd-In-Ga-As layer remained, indicating that the first reaction step was solid-state amorphization. After annealing at 350 °C, PdxIn0.53Ga0.47As disappeared and regrowth of In0.53Ga0.47As occured. Finally, at 400 °C, residual Ge from the amorphous top layer diffused to the interface and grew epitaxially on the regrown In0.53Ga0.47As, thus separating the III–V compound semiconductor from the Pd-Ge reaction products. The interface remained flat, while only about 10 nm of the active In0.53Ga0.47As layer had been modified during the annealing processes.

The purpose of this study was to find out how copper contributes to good brake performance properties in addition to providing good thermal conductivity. Microstructural investigations of copper chips at the surfaces of brake pads revealed a zone of severe plastic deformation which provides high hardness, but there is also evidence of recrystallized copper nano-particles which are incorporated into friction layers as soft ingredient once detached from the pad surface. Thus copper seems to play a dual role, firstly as reinforcing element of the brake pad providing primary contact sites, and secondly as solid lubricant by contributing to the formation of a layer of granular material providing velocity accommodation between the rotating disc and fixed pad. Confirmation for this hypothesis was obtained by modelling contact sites on the nanometre scale with the method of movable cellular automata. Results show both, the similarity of steel fibres and copper macro-particles in respect to providing primary contact sites, as well as similar sliding behaviours of friction layers containing either copper or graphite as soft inclusions. Furthermore, it is shown that not only material properties, but also the concentration of solid lubricant particles in the friction layers, determine conditions for friction force stabilization and smooth sliding behaviour.
